Title
Ordinance amending water and sewer related rates for certain Lake County systems.
Staff Summary
• The Rate Ordinance establishes all water and sewer user rates and connection fees for the County’s water and sewer systems and is occasionally modified.
• Lake County received a water purchase cost increase of $0.05 from Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency (CLCJAWA).
• As a result, Lake County needs to modify its ordinance to increase the CLCJAWA service area rates per 1,000 gallons from $5.61 to $5.66 for Residential Minimum, $5.91 to $5.96 for Non-Residential/Residential Block 1 and $6.21 to $6.26 for Residential Block 2 and the new rates will be effective on May 1, 2016.
